Based on your title, and the fact that you mention network shares, it is
obvious that you are running a version of coreutils compiled for
Windows.

This would be a problem with the Windows port, and not the upstream
coreutils.  Please report it to wherever you obtained the binary (perhaps
it was cygwin or mingw?)  Also bear in mind that a Windows port is
inherently limited by Windows restrictions - Windows does not provide
a clean API for creating hard links on non-NTFS systems.
